Is there an “exists” function for jQuery

Is there a better way to check if the element is already inserted on page? I’m currently doing this and is working fine, but doesn’t seem for me to be the best/fast way

$(element).closest('body').length > 0

Thanks.

Edit:

I doesn’t need to know if my element exists, I need to know if it’s on page.

You can use jQuery’s built in .has function so your code should look something like:

$('body').has(element)
